Environmental and Linguistic Typology of Whistled Languages: Audio S10a

Audio S10a, corresponding to Supplemental Figure 10a: Two whistled Spanish words: (a) /adio(s)/ (meaning: good bye); (b) /amigo/(meaning: friend). They share the same vowels /a, i, o/ that are rather steady notes but differ in the modulations imprinted by the consonants /d, s/ or /m, g/. One can note also the modulation of the hiatus between vowels /i/ and /o/ of /adio(s)/. Figure reproduced from Meyer J. 2015. Whistled Languages: A Worldwide Inquiry About Whistled Speech.
